I absolutely love the vibe of playing the game, but yeah a lot of the systems they add feel isolated and rather pointless. There’s a settlement system where you can basically be the mayor of a settlement, developing it and managing its growth - but it doesn’t really lead anywhere. They have fishing, crop growth, cooking - but it doesn’t really support anything in particular. There’s an extensive creature taming/breeding system, but creatures don’t seem to do a lot afaik.

This fits my profile. I actively browsed and contributed to Lemmy for about 4 months following the US inauguration, but all the useful stuff I want is still on Reddit and Twitter. I still look at Lemmy around once per week, but honestly it seems like there’s a lot more political rage bait and not as much in the way of niche community content.

The last major push to leave traditional social media was in January, following Zuckerberg and Musk’s appearances at Trump’s inauguration. Many people leaving Twitter and Meta products joined up on Bluesky and Fediverse platforms to replace their activity. It’s been 7 months, meaning those who didn’t find Lemmy a viable replacement have definitely left by now.

If there was a graph of overall activity, you’d probably see a huge increase around December-January, following a slow decline to a slightly higher baseline than November.

I’m pretty easy to please, as long as procgen fits within the overall vibe of the game. My only hang-up is when there aren’t enough unique/modular enough nodes and I can recognize walking through the same room several times in one dungeon. If that happens, I’m not playing your game for more than 20 hours no matter how much fun it is.

I have a friend who buys every single console game released and never plays any of them. Physical copies georg is an outlier and should not be counted

Most Christian schools have vague morality clauses in the contracts for students and staff alike.

This is wild! A free copy on release day?

If it’s any consolation, the admins of .ml will likely indefinitely host .ml with or without the support of patrons funding the development of Lemmy. Your support or lack thereof will never affect its operation.

Sorry but have to disagree. Look at the talk page on a math or science Wikipedia article, the people who maintain those pages are deadly serious. Medical journals and scientific publications aren’t intended to be accessible to a wider public, they’re intended to be bases for research - primary sources. Wikipedia is a digest source.

You’re going for a much stricter comparison than your parent comment. They were just saying that calculators are a standard tool that did not in fact destroy the fundamentals of learning as some people felt compelled to believe. If you give a calculator to a child learning their times tables, it can in fact do their work for them, but we managed to integrate calculators into learning at higher levels. Whether calculators can be wrong isn’t really relevant.
